America's Political Earthquake: Secular Surge, Death Penalty Drama, and Tariff Shockwaves

America’s religious landscape is shifting fast.

While 29% of adults now identify as nonreligious, a new group—the Secularists—is gaining political power.

Unlike Nonreligionists, who simply lack faith, Secularists embrace science and humanism.

They’re young, educated, and politically active—potentially forming a 'secular left' to rival the religious right.

But don’t assume all nonreligious voters lean left—many supported Trump, showing this trend is more complex than it

seems.

The Justice Department will seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The case is politically charged—Mangione’s lawyer calls the move 'barbaric' and says it defies legal precedent.

Trump’s administration has revived federal executions, and this case could be the first under his new term.

Mangione, who has raised over $700,000 in support, faces both state and federal charges, including terrorism-related counts.

Trump’s 'Liberation Day' is here—and so are sweeping new tariffs.

The White House says they’re effective immediately, targeting imports from nearly every country.

Markets are rattled, gold prices hit record highs, and allies like Canada and Mexico are scrambling.

Even Republicans are worried—Senator Tillis warned the tariffs could bankrupt farmers.

Trump says it’s about making America wealthy again, but businesses and global leaders are bracing for impact.

Two special elections in Florida could shake up Congress.

Democrats are pouring millions into deep-red districts vacated by Trump appointees Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz.

Despite Trump winning both districts by over 30 points, Democratic candidates Gay Valimont and Joshua Weil are closing

in, thanks to massive fundraising and early voting momentum.

If either flips, it could narrow the GOP’s slim House majority—and signal big trouble ahead for Trump’s agenda.
